Friday, August 6, 2010 starting at 6 pm at the Western Hotel Museum.

Step outside for the historic Western Hotel Museum’s annual ice cream social and outdoor silent film screening. Bring the family and friends to a special evening of summer activities that includes delicious ice cream provided by Cold Stone Creamery in the museum’s backyard patio, and an outdoor screening of the 1928 film “The Wind.” Lillian Gish stars as Letty, a Virginia woman who resettles in the Texas prairie, battles relentless suitors and an even more relentless wind for her happiness and sanity.

From 6-8 pm, visitors can enjoy ice cream, sip lemonade, drink a root beer float or take a museum tour. Activities for kids include face painting, or the pinwheel art activity that explores the elements of nature. The film begins outside the museum at dusk (about 8:45 pm). Limited seating is available, but visitors are encouraged to bring lawn chairs.

Adult admission is $5 for the event; $3 for the movie OR ice cream only. Youth admission (under 12) for the movie is free; ice cream is $2. LMAGA individual members receive one free ticket; family members 2 free tickets.
